JBJ introduces the TRUE TEMP digital heater controller and titanium heating system. The TRUE TEMP is the most complete heating system to date with the most advanced features that set it apart as the leading heater for professional hobbyists.

Maintaining the correct temperature for tropical fish may be the single most important factor for a successful aquarium. Since fish do not have the ability to regulate their own body temperature, it is crucial that we can provide consistent water temperatures with minimal fluctuations.

Majority of fish cannot cope with stress from constant temperature fluctuations, which leads to a compromised immune system. This increases the probability of avoidable diseases, parasites, and bacterial infections.

ADVANCED FEATURES

True Temp Titanium 2 100% DIGITAL OPERATION Don’t be fooled, some controllers still incorporate analog dials and knobs without the precision accuracy of TRUE digital controllers. Our advanced microprocessor constantly reads and displays the correct temperature to a tenth of a degree with a large LED display. Easy push buttons make setting your desired temperature simple and easy.

TITANIUM The perfect submersible element for fresh or saltwater aquaria. Virtually indestructible with the benefits of fast heat transfer without any corrosion. Integrated thermal shut off and out of water safety mechanism.

REMOTE TEMPERATURE PROBE Most heaters have an integrated temperature probe within the same heating element. This can lead to false readings and premature ON/OFF cycles. The TRUE TEMP digital controller is equipped with a remote quick disconnect temperature probe that can be placed up to 5 feet away from the heating element for a comprehensive temperature measurement of the total volume of water. Quick disconnect temperature probe grants easy replacement without the need to replace the entire controller in the event it fails.

CROSS REFERENCE Have you ever noticed that majority of heaters cannot be calibrated. Often times, errors do occur during the calibration process. The ability to cross reference ensures your temperature is accurate and always correct.

SMART MEMORY CHIP An integrated smart memory chip will restore the previous temperature set point and calibration to the last stored setting once the power returns after a failure. This alleviates having to manually reset settings forever.

I gave this heater a 3 start rating for a couple of reasons. The first reason is the clear plastic face screen on the front of the controller wasn't attached very well and started falling off. I was able to solve this problem by applying a small amount of superglue. After this, I began to notice moderate temperature fluctuations in my tank. I am noticing that my temperature will sometimes before up to two degrees lower or higher than it's actual set point. I designed this tank to be a discus tank and with this heater, I don't feel it's reliable enough to keep discus. I now either need to invest another couple of hundred dollars just to buy something I already own, or not buy the discus and go with a less sensitive fish. Needles to say for $150, I'm fairy disappointed. (Posted on 10/12/2013)

Great heater. Love the magnetic mounts. (Posted on 10/12/2012)

Super powerful Review by Shumph

This is a great heater. I keep it in the 30 gallon overflow box of my basement-plumbed 72 gallon show tank. I love the magnetic holders. No problems. (Posted on 3/22/2010)
